DonMichael is right.

I've been checking conservative-political blogs, and really...from what I've seen, there is a backlash in general at the Federal and state governments for their lack/speed of response.

Speaking of which...http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2005-09-01-jay-z-diddy-donation_x.htm

Rappers Jay-Z and "Vote or Die" himself Diddy have donated $1 million to the Red Cross.

Of course last night, Falcons running-back Warrick Dunn pretty much asked all NFL players, save obviously for the Saints, to donate at least $5,000. A true class act...
